Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Anal sphincter insufficiency
Frequency of anal sphincter insufficiency according to the Wexner scale incontinence after the surgical intervention. Self reported daily meausure outcome, wich evaluate from 0 - to 20 points (where 0 points = full feacal continence; 20 points = full feacal incontinence).
Up to 60 days
Secondary Outcomes (5)
2-item pain intensity (P2)
On day 7, 30 and 60
Non-Healing Wound
On day 60
Profilometry /sphincterometry findings
On day 30 and 60
Temporary disability
Up to 60 days
Relap
Up to 60 days
Study Arms (2)
Xeomin
EXPERIMENTALComplex treatment of chronic anal fissure with drug-induced relaxation of the internal sphincter with Botulinum Toxin Type A. (IncobotulinumtoxinA 50 U Intramuscular Powder for Solution).
Xeomin control
ACTIVE COMPARATORComplex treatment of chronic anal fissure with lateral subcutaneous sphincterotomy.
Interventions
Sparing surgical removal of fissure without internal sphincter incision is held under spinal anesthesia in surgical room at lithotomy position using electrocoagulation. After that Botulinum Toxin Type A is injected into the internal anal sphincter at 1, 5, 7 and 11 o'clock (localization of injection points), 10 U at each point (40 U in total). Botulinum toxin type A (a 50 U vial) is diluted with 1.0 ml of 0.9% saline solution.
The patient is positioned on the table like for perineal lithotomy. After spinal anesthesia, the anal canal and then the surgical field are treated with 70% ethanol. Under the rectal speculum control, sparing surgical removal of fissure without internal sphincter incision is held using electrocoagulation.Then, in a 3 or 9 o'clock position, a narrow (eye) scalpel is inserted into the intersphincteric groove separating the external and internal sphincters, the scalpel blade is turned to the rectal lumen, and the internal sphincter is dissected up to the wall of the anal canal mucosa under the control of the finger inserted into the anal canal. After controlling hemostasis, the operation is ended with the introduction of the vent tube and hemostatic sponge.
